Former president Reuven Rivlin is quoted as saying that ties between Israel and the late Queen Elizabeth II were “difficult” because of her views on the Jewish state.
“The relationship between us and Queen Elizabeth was a little bit difficult because she believed that every one of us was either a terrorist or a son of a terrorist,” Rivlin told a gala event in London commemorating 100 years of Haifa’s Technion Institute of Technology, according to the British Jewish News.
“She refused to accept any Israeli official into [Buckingham] Palace, apart from international occasions,” he added, noting by way of comparison that King Charles III was always “so friendly.”
Look up King David Hotel bombing
The IDF was founded from three terrorist militias. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idf
The leading one Haganah murdered 267 mostly Jewish people, bombing an Ocean liner in 1940 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haganah#Bombing_of_the_SS_Patria_in_Haifa
Another comment already mentioned the King David Hotel bombing in 1946 by Irgun, murdering 91 people, including many British. Cynically Israel loves to “accommodate” British officials in the Hotel, when they visit.
Elizabeth II grew up and became a young adult, when Zionist terror swept through Palestine, while it was still under British “mandate”.

Pot, kettle liz.
No kidding. If we’re judging people by the actions of their ancestors this woman has a lot to answer for.
I had to already remove a comment for this.
No matter what you think of Israel today- Many Holocaust survivors went to Israel after it was formed.
They were not all terrorists.
Many of them didn’t know where else to go considering they saw a world that wanted them dead and almost succeeded (it was far from just the Nazis that were openly antisemitic before the war).
Was Israel the right place to go? No it wasn’t. Did Israel do good things afterward? No it did not.
But calling people who survived a genocide and went to the one place they could think where people wouldn’t try to put them back in a camp terrorists is fucking disgusting.
Edit: Hey you downvoting cowards, tell me about how these people were terrorists. I want specific details:

Oh, and also…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruth_Westheimer
Do tell me about Dr. Ruth’s terrorist activities. What exactly did she do?
She was likely referring to the Israeli government which was formed by terror groups such as Lehi and Stern gang
As Kahneman was born in 1934 his parents colonized Palestine before the Holocaust. So he has a high likelyhood to be the son of a terrorist.
Wait, the old white hereditary monarch whose country colonised huge parts of the world is racist? I’m shocked I tell you, shocked!
